Where's Quentin?

I'm a big fan of the 'Where's Wally' books by British artist Martin Handford. (In the U.S. they're called "Where's Waldo" for some reason). For several years in the early and mid 1990's "Where's Waldo" was turned into a Sunday newspaper comic/puzzle and distributed by King Features Syndicate.

As a kid my brother and I used to draw epic battle scenes a bit like these. First we'd use a pink pen to draw hundreds of heads, then another color for the bodies and another for the legs etc. We'd spend hours sat in the back yard drawing these gory panoramas.

So, can you spot Quentin? He's the only lugworm dressed like he is in the first frame.
